Am I a Narcissist?

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Am I a narcissist?”

It’s a question I know many women ask themselves when they start asserting their needs, speaking up for themselves, or drawing boundaries. We live in a world that often associates self-love and self-care with selfishness, so when we begin to put ourselves first, it can stir up a lot of guilt and confusion.

Here’s the thing:
If you’re asking yourself if you’re a narcissist, you’re probably not.

In fact, you’re likely doing something incredibly brave: You’re starting to choose yourself. You’re learning how to take up space, to prioritize your well-being, and to stop apologizing for your needs. And that’s not narcissism. That’s healing.

In this episode of The Good Daughter Society Podcast, I break down the difference between narcissism and self-care. I talk about:

• How many of us confuse assertiveness with arrogance because we’ve been conditioned to prioritize others over ourselves.

• The fine line between healthy self-esteem and narcissism—and how to navigate it without guilt.

• Why choosing yourself doesn’t make you “too much” or “too selfish” and how it actually allows you to show up better for the people you love.

We often fear that drawing boundaries or claiming our worth will make us look like the very thing we’ve been trying to avoid: selfish, self-centered, or narcissistic. But the truth is, when we stop giving from an empty cup, we begin to show up in a way that’s truly aligned with our authentic selves.

You are worthy of love, respect, and care—not just from others, but from yourself. It’s time to stop apologizing for that.

✨ If you’ve ever felt guilty for choosing yourself, this episode is for you.
